The Rotary Cartoon Awards is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour City Inc., (the Rotary Club). The competition commenced in 1989 and is run by the Bunker Cartoon Gallery Inc., a not-for-profit,registered charity established by The Rotary Club in 1995. Sponsorship of the Awards by Coffs Harbour Rotary Clubs and other valuable community sponsors enables the Awards to continue into its 28th year and beyond.

The aim of the Awards is to promote cartooning, cartoon artists, Australia’s only cartoon gallery, The Bunker Cartoon Gallery, and to further establish the City of Coffs Harbour as the ‘Cartoon Capital of Australia’.

The competition attracts entries from the leading Australian cartoon, comic strip and caricature artists. Cash prizes and trophies are awarded in six categories and one category winning work will receive the prestigious Rotary ‘Cartoon of the Year’ Award.

Entrants into Awards agree to donate all works entered into the Coffs Cartoon Collection for exhibition at the Bunker Cartoon Gallery or other venues throughout Australia. Entrants retain copyright and grant permission to the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour City and the Bunker Cartoon Gallery Inc. for their works to be exhibited, copied, reproduced onto promotional items, and for copies to be offered for sale at the Bunker Cartoon Gallery any time in the future.

The 28th Rotary Cartoon Awards is conducted in association with the Australia Cartoonists’ Association.
